Did you know?

The word neoteric is not itself neoteric; it’s been part of English since at least 1577, and its roots go back even further—to ancient Greek. We adapted the word from Late Latin neotericus, which also means “recent.” Neotericus in turn comes from Late Greek neōterikos and ultimately from Greek neos, meaning “new” or “young.” As old as its roots are, however, neoteric itself entered English later than its synonyms novel (which appeared in the 15th century) and newfangled (which was being used to describe things of the newest style or kind almost 50 years prior).
